Reality of Heroe Worship In Politics

By

Ibn Abdillah As-sudaisiy Iloori

Politics is fast becoming the religion of people who are passionately partisan. You will not know this fact until you disagree with any of their idols among politicians. Even if you are objective in your observation, they don't care. They will descend on you as if they are drunk. They will lambast you as if you are an apostate. They can fabricate any kind of lie to defend their beloved politicians. The extremists among them can even kill to favour their favourite politicians.

If you attack Allaah and His Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم, they are likely not to react. They will say "You can't defend God, God will defend Himself". But if you dare touch the personality they worship in their filthy politics, you will broken into pieces..lol. They will disown you and hate you with passion. Many people have sacrificed the kind of love they ought to have for Allaah and His religion for the love of the أبناء الدنيا (children of the world) as scholars do refer to them.

This matter affect many of political supporters, except very few. Muslims who are like this must retrace their steps back to the Sunnah before it is too late. This is a strong matter of taoheed. Love and hate must only be for Allaah's sake. Don't love anyone except for the sake of Allaah and don't hate anyone except for Allaah's sake. The statement of Allaah is true when He سبحانه وتعالى said:

(وَمِنَ النَّاسِ مَنْ يَتَّخِذُ مِنْ دُونِ اللَّهِ أَنْدَادًا يُحِبُّونَهُمْ كَحُبِّ اللَّهِ ۖ وَالَّذِينَ آمَنُوا أَشَدُّ حُبًّا لِلَّهِ ۗ وَلَوْ يَرَى الَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا إِذْ يَرَوْنَ الْعَذَابَ أَنَّ الْقُوَّةَ لِلَّهِ جَمِيعًا وَأَنَّ اللَّهَ شَدِيدُ الْعَذَابِ)

And [yet], among the people are those who take other than Allah as equals [to Him]. They love them as they [should] love Allah . But those who believe are stronger in love for Allah . And if only they who have wronged would consider [that] when they see the punishment, [they will be certain] that all power belongs to Allah and that Allah is severe in punishment. [Surat Al-Baqarah 165]

May Allaah guide us against all forms of shirk.
